I’m installing a winch on my 2013 sportsman 500 ho. I noticed that I’m not getting power from the two small ignition wires under the headlight pod to connect to the winch switch. Is there fuses that connect to these wires?
Issues changing tire size
My 850 sportsman XP has Carlisle 26x8-14 front and 26x10-14 rear. I am not willing to spend $200 a tire at my dealership. Closest tires I can find on-line are 26x9-14 front and 26x11-14 rear. Is this going to cause an issue? I am learning about all of the technical lingo so speak lamen terms please. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
2004 Polaris Sportsman 600 Won’t Cut Off
I have an early model 2004 Sportsman 600 I am bringing back to life. I purchased it new in 2003. So for the last 6-7 years it has been sitting as it needed some work and I really didn't have the cash to fix it but have come through that now and have brought it back to life. I will list below what I replaced to bring it back to life. All the parts were ones I knew when it went down what it needed.
Carburetor, New Ignition module, exhaust gaskets and springs, and everything (Filters, battery, fluids, spark plugs etc.) to do a full service prior to trying to start.
Got all that done and is running great only problem I am having is the key or engine kill switch will not cut the bike off. Also the AWD will not lock in. To cut it off I have to pull the plug on ignition module. I can even disconnect plug from ignition switch and will not kill it.
Please help me on this feel like it's something electrical but am struggling on where to even start. Have cleaned the ground on starter relay and main engine to chassis ground and nothing.

Polaris Highlifter 850
Anyone having issues with their Highlifter? I have a 2017 850 Highlifter that has been nothing but trouble since week 1 off the showroom floor. Instrument cluster shows the trans is in Neutral when it’s in Low range, therefore the 4 wheel drive won’t engage. Also does this in Reverse. Very frustrating. This has to be a wiring harness issue I would think.

I'm new owner of 10 hour Maverick 1000R Xxc, that was left outside and uncared for over the last 6 months. In SW Florida. Doing my cleaning and liquid level reviews before any serious riding. No owners manual.:sad
Overflow tank for Radiator is empty? Something to be concerned and what type of antifreeze should be added? Unit had all the decals stripped off - Any idea where to buy? Other than CanAm, would like to have some custom colors to match Back Country Jeep. Need a roof and rear bumpers too!! Looking forward to the help - Thanks in advance.

850 sportsman Tires
Is it ok to purchase tires that have a slightly larger width? My Carlisle tires are 26x8-14 & 26x10-14. I am looking to purchase 26x9-14 & 26x11-14. Is this ok to do?
2004 400 XT HO running poor
I have a problem that is getting the best of me. My machine is running like the choke is on but it is not. I've taken the carb apart and cleaned it three different times and installed a new spark plug to have no change in how it runs. Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?
2017 Sportsman 450 HO plug
Does anybody know what aftermarket model spark plug to use? Thanks in advance.
Finally Found a Company – Stay Tuned
I’ve been searching for a company willing to make an MX style seat cover for the Scrammy for quite a while. I’ve found a few but none able to make it without paying to ship my seat to them and then paying to ship it back, taking the bill way above the worth of the seat cover, until now.
As I enjoy a very spirited style of riding, outside of the factory suspension and lack of bottom end, the one main area I feel the Scrambler really lacks in stock form is the seat cover. Way too slippery, especially once muddy and wet.
Speaking of mud... Mud Motorsports created a seat cover for Teixera when they were having a magazine article documented on the Scrambler modifications they’ve manufactured through a lot of R&D.
I came up with a rough draft as seen attached. The only change I’ve made is removing the Polaris lettering from the sides, wasn’t worth another $50 to me.
Anyway stay tuned for the final product once I receive it.
